Association Between Iris Manipulation during Phacovitrectomy for Retinal Detachment Repair and Proliferative Vitreoretinopathy
Iris manipulation during phacovitrectomy for RD repair and cataract extraction was significantly associated with development of PVR in the absence of active inflammation, despite a similar profile of other postoperative complications. These findings highlight the potential role of iris trauma in amplifying intraocular inflammation and contributing to PVR pathogenesis.
